“The true inner self must be drawn up like a jewel from the bottom of the sea, rescued from confusion, from indistinction, from immersion in the common, the nondescript, the trivial, the sordid, the evanescent.” ~ Thomas Merton

And there it waits with infinite patience under untold scraps of fear, mountains of opinions, burdens of desire. It waits with infinite patience. Love, Diederik
